"[I ran] into this guy – Gabe – at Starbucks. He was just sitting there in his purple sombrero, clutching his horn and dishing. Gabe's advice? Check out the free music concerts this summer in Pasadena. 'Music is just falling out of the sky.' "

So take Gabe's advice and head to Memorial Park in Old Pasadena for the free concerts that the Levitt Pavilion Pasadena is hosting this summer.

Jazz, Rock, Classical, R&B, and more make up the calendar of 50 concerts. The series begins June 18 (this Saturday) with Make Music Pasadena and continues every Wednesday through Sunday from June 22 until August 28.
